MOSMAN HIGH FLYER JULY 2016
1
Welcome back to term 3 As always
there is a lot happening at Mosman High
with the Year 9 ski camp the Year 12
HSC trial examinations the final
examinations for Year 11 and subject
selection evenings for Years 8 and 10
This culminates in the Year 12
graduation held at the end of term
Year 12 have been busily working on
their major works over the holidays and
at school on many days it has seemed
business as usual with so many students
and staff working together in support of
the completion of major works tuning
performances and completing research
projects The enthusiasm of staff to give
up their holidays and come to school and
work with students is I am sure valued
by the students and their families At
Mosman High many students do at least
one major work and many also do up to
four major works As all major works
and language orals are finalised and

A school community fostering creativity individuality and leadership while striving for excellence in teaching and learning
marked in term 3 students are keen to
have these completed Trial HSC
examinations take place in weeks 2 and
3 and the fact that they are early is also
to support the many students with
major works
On the final day of term 2 our
Community of Schools held a joint
Staff Development Day We have
formed a partnership with Corwin and
the John Hattie group from Melbourne
University looking at Visible Learning
This approach puts the student at the
centre of learning and encourages
teachers to provide learning that is
appropriately challenging with strong
individual feedback This will be
followed up with two days where the
Mosman High executive will be trained
in leading Visible Learning in their
faculty

Continued from page 1
Already almost 50 of teachers
participated in a series of four evening
workshops in partnership with UNSW
and the GERRIC centre to qualify for a
Certificate of Gifted Education One of
the features of this course was
developing specific subject programs
that responded to the needs of gifted
students At an upcoming Professional
Learning evening those trained teachers
will be supporting those who did not
attend the training in developing these
skills in program writing
The first week back at school will see the
final Parent Teacher night for 2016 This
last evening will again provide parents of
Years 9 and 10 the opportunity to discuss
their studentrsquos progress with their
teachers The final semester one report
was also issued in week 1 for Years 9 10
and 11 and so all students should now
have received their Half Yearly report
Another very successful initiative was
the cake stall and sausage sizzle that took
place on Election Day The PampC art
committee organised the cake stall and
the PampC sports committee organised the
sausage sizzle (with eggs bacon and
onions) both these committees as do
our other parent committees work very
hard to support students at the school
with incredible resources
This time last year we were trialling the
ldquoElevaterdquo program with a number of
year groups This program teaches
students organisational and study skills
and each year builds upon earlier student
workshops The feedback from students
is extremely positive and the Elevate
program is now embedded in the school
calendar
At the end of term our junior and senior
dance ensembles performed at the
Northern Sydney Dance Festival Both
performances were received with high
acclaim Ms Leto our wonderful dance
coordinator also held a dance soiree to
showcase the HSC dance studentsrsquo
performances and choreography The
standard of performance by all students
was outstanding
Three of our drama ensembles have also
been selected to perform at the Sydney
North Drama Festival Our drama
students are so talented I am sure they
will be acclaimed
Many of our students have achieved
incredible success lately both
individually and in teams Ashley
Wilkie Y12 and an SRC leader has
been chosen to lead all cadets in the
Sydney metropolitan region A
fantastic achievement Lara Unkovich
of Y9 belongs to the Metropolitan
Slammers and her tennis team were
successful in winning the 2016 NSW
16 and under State Team
Championships Lara is also a member
of the MHS Knock Out tennis team
that has reached the final eight teams in
the state
Hedy Hagans (Y11) participated in a
two week promotion course with the
AAFC and not only did she pass with
Distinction she was the Dux of the
course which included over 80
participants from around the country
Also a number of students are finalists
in the Young ICT Explorers
competition Best wishes to Callum
Predavec Declan Predavec Jacques

Viz bike system uses a mix of
technology to protect cyclists on the
road Declan and Callum will now

luck boys Congratulations also to
Harmony Lovegrove who has been

news that Brendan Nyholm (Y11) has
been selected as one of twenty students
from across NSW to be Secretary for a
Day Brendan will shadow a General
Manager in the Department of
Education This is a special initiative as
part of Education Week

From the Deputy Principal
Now that Parent Teacher Nights are over
it is important parents and students
reflect on the feedback received through
reports and first semester assessments
The power of feedback has been well
researched It contributes significantly to
students working towards and achieving
their personal best It also has a big
impact on your childrsquos sense of control
An easier way to look at it is if your
child understands why they received a
good teacherrsquos comment or a comment
raising concerns that they in fact should
have a greater sense of control over their
learning by knowing this
Students feel a sense of achievement if
they do great work receive good marks
and positive feedback It confirms their
approach to a task and that it met the
standards of the assessment criteria This
creates pride in a job well done and our
reports acknowledge the student is
achieving their personal best Students
who do not perform to their potential
may not like feedback that their work
was not to their standard and while it
may be tough at least the student knows
what not to do the next time
Students make mistakes and it is
important to understand this and to avoid
- Colette Longley amp Tony Gahan
uncertainty about learning so that the
student knows what it takes to earn
good marks This is called academic
resilience and encourages consistent
engagement in all parts of their
learning For parents to help their child
achieve success no matter their
academic aptitude it is important to
talk frankly about whether they
succeeded or not and then have a chat
about how to repeat success with
similar tasks However if they didnrsquot
succeed discuss what can be learned
from the result to improve with the
next task This focuses your discussion
around tasks rather than overall
performance and helps build your
childrsquos focus on learning
Students need clear guidance about
what you expect of them in semester
two Make your expectations represent
SMART goals ie specific measurable
attainable realistic and time aware To
do this put action around self-
regulatory skills This focuses not on
the mark but the quality of preparation
needed to achieve a good result For
example with your child go to the MHS
website click on quick links
lsquoCalendarrsquo then click on lsquoSchool
Calendar Liversquo and review the next ten
weeks Sit down with them and plan the
next term prepare a schedule and help
your child bring about certainty to their
learning ie there is a test week 5 rather
than I know there is a test coming up but
Irsquom not sure Together you will know
what will be assessed and quality time
can be put aside to prepare for it Your
child will appreciate your help as it
teaches them about being engaged
learners
Here is a pretty SMART goal
In the next assessment task I will take
careful notes and review them at least
two days before the due date and if I am
unsure I should ask the teacher questions
about what I dont understand I will do
my assignment work before I do things
with friends and while preparing I will
look back at feedback that I received
about my skills from other assessment
tasks When I get anything wrong I will
make sure to ask the teacher or one of
my classmates how they got the right
answer
Good luck with semester 2 and be smart
2016 Chinese Bridge Competition
FROM Victor Zhang Chinese Language Teacher
On 30 May three Year 9 students
Shreyasi Dhungana Ji Woo Kim and
Victoria Moura-Watts attended 2016
Chinese Bridge Competition NSW a
contest for foreign secondary school
students on their mastery of the Chinese
language at Darling Harbour There
were 15 schools that took part in this
competition in which Shreyasi Victoria
and Ji Woo were the youngest
contestants The competition is composed of two
parts speech and talent show All of our
Mosman students sang Chinese songs
in the section of talent show and re-
ceived a lot of applause and cheers
from the audience
They are all confident to expect a
greater success next year

P amp C Report FROM Evan Predavec P amp C President
The meeting also saw a discussion of
the fact that many families in Years 10
and 11 have not paid their school
contributions this year That presents a
problem for the school because those
contributions go to pay for the WiFi
network consumables such as the art
supplies paper for photocopied
booklets and so on
If families have financial difficulty
making the payment there is
government money available to make
up the shortfall But that money is only
available if the school is notified of
difficulty if people simply dont pay
there is no money available
The conclusion the meeting came to was
that people have forgotten and the
documentation has been overlooked So
you can expect to hear more about this
as a reminder over the coming weeks
The next PampC meeting is on Thursday
July 28th at 7pm in the Library
At the last PampC meeting Susan Wyatt
presented a range of facts and figures
about the school Most students
participated in the Tell Them From Me
survey earlier this year and the feedback
was interesting Mostly the feedback was
good and Mosman is performing at a
level above most schools around the
State There are a couple of spots of
concern revolving around student
enthusiasm in some years and bullying
but the school staff are already
addressing these - which just goes to
show the value of the survey
Henry Lawson Festival of Arts Verse and
Short Story Competition
It Starts Now A Poem by Matilda Meikle
I used to love boys things
I didnt love pink skirts dresses and rings
And Ive never looked in the mirror and seen the mess
Of a stereotypical girl in a bow and a dress
I was always the grey sheep in a sea of white
The little girls that walk down the street
All seem to be dancing to the same beat
They dont like pants or the colour blue
And few of them paddle their own canoe
Is that what they want Or is that what they learn
When the time comes for me to go out into the world
Ill be expected to travel the route of a predictable girl
Look right have a family get paid less accept a glass ceiling
And smile about all of that no matter how Im feeling
Its hard to spread your wings when youre inside a cage
But little girls who wear pink or not
Deserve a better future than what weve got
We need a change we need to dream
We need a promising future however tough it may seem
For that we have to choose the harder road the bumpy lane
So that girl who love boys things
Not dresses or rings
Wants to grow up and follow her heart
And that starts now
Courage focus belief purpose - it starts now
Matilda Meikle is a young writer and
poet in Year 7 at Mosman High School
whose included poem explores issues of
gender and courage Her poetry
encourages the audience to reflect on
their stereotypes and the impact that this
has on young girls
Her poem received a highly commended
prize in the Henry Lawson Festival of
Arts Verse and Short Story Competition

Slimes and Amy Wojciechowski) and

Sandiford and Lola Trajkovich) They
will perform at the Seymour Centre late
in July Good Luck
Ruby Moon
Last term the year 10 drama class studied and performed a past HSC play
Ruby Moon by Matt Cameron It follows the story of two parents looking
for their lost child and the eccentric neighbourhood characters they interact
with in their search for Ruby This play allowed us to delve into the
characters lives and contrasted the usual cheerful pieces we were used to
performing Studying a post-HSC text was more difficult for us and created
a space where we could discuss and learn about theatre techniques we hadnt
experienced before
Male and female characters who change roles between the couple Sylvie and
Ray and the wacky neighbours down the road usually act the play In our
performance each pair of students workshopped a single scene They
choreographed the movement of the scene and worked on character
development as well as organising props and the set needed As a class we
arranged the lighting and sound cues needed which were used on the night
to produce a fully independent and professional performance Overall
studying Ruby Moon was a new and challenging experience allowing us to
improve our practical technique and understanding of theatre

TAS Report FROM Mark Jones Head Teacher TAS
Teacher nights as communication helps
enormously in your childrsquos success
Although 2017 seems a long way off it
is a good time to start thinking of
Electives for Years 9 10 amp 11 for next
year As the TAS (Technology and
Applied Studies) Faculty provides a
myriad of subject courses I would
recommend parents amp students start
investigating the subjects they are
interested in and attend the upcoming
Subject Information Evenings
Due to the large number of year 7
Technology Mandatory classes and the
limited access to some resources the
Lunch time wood turners group has
been a great success and will continue
this term The 5 wood lathes in E
Block have been used consistently every
lunch time during Term 2 with many
beautiful bowls mallets and egg cups
being produced Below are some of the
impressive results from these keen
students using the lathe for the first time
I congratulate these students for their
enthusiasm and willingness to develop
their practical skills The constant smell
of Camphour Laurel shavings has been a
constant reminder of the lunch time
activity There are opportunities so if you
are keen come to Tech Wood 1 any
Lunchtime and have a go Irsquom sure
yoursquoll enjoy the experience

On Tuesday the 14th of June Ben
Aarons Emma Butler India Rowe and
their teacher Ms Xue went on an
excursion to lsquoDoing Maths like a
Mathematicianrsquo This was a full-day
excursion dedicated to approaching math
questions from a different angle (no pun
intended) Set at the University of
Technology Sydney (UTS) we were
joined by a number of students and their
teachers from other schools across
Sydney to explore and challenge our
understanding of what it means to be a
true mathematician
The main focus of the day was to
appreciate and explore a variety of
approaches to solving interesting
problems As the questions were quite
difficult we worked in groups of three
students the teacher and a volunteer
academic from the university We were
all told that the answer itself wasnrsquot
important but rather the mathematical
thinking and development of ideas that
surrounded how we unpacked questions
and attempted to solve them that did The
day challenged us to criticise our own
thinking and to engage deeply in
substantive communication with one
another
Much to our delight little to no
prompting or explanations were given as
we first encountered the various
problems but rather we were encouraged
to explore and play Needless to say it
was a challenge for all of us (both adult
and student) As more conjectures were
made throughout the room and ideas and
understandings began flowing we
collectively were able to (eventually)
figure out both what the question was
asking and how we just might solve it
The day was a very good experience as it
showed us an entirely different way of
approaching maths and taught us to think
of ideas ourselves
There were four questions we spent the
day trying to solve three of which are
included here Have a go and see if you
have what it takes to lsquoDo Maths like a
Mathematicianrsquo

National Consistent Collection of Data Information for parents and carers
WHAT IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (the national data collection) is an annual collection that counts the number of school students with disability and the level of reasonable educational adjustment they are provided with The national data collection counts students who have been identified by a school team as receiving an adjustment to address a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (the DDA)
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR MY CHILD This information will help teachers the principal and families to better support students with disability to take part in school on the same basis as students without disability The national data collection is an opportunity for our school to review our learning and support systems to continually improve education outcomes for our students with disability
WHY IS THIS DATA BEING COLLECTED The information provided through the national data collection will enable all Australian governments to improve target support and resources to benefit students with disability
WHAT ARE SCHOOLS REQUIRED TO DO FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY All students are entitled to a quality learning experience at school Schools are required to make reasonable adjustments where needed to assist students with disability to access and participate in education free from discrimination and on the same basis as other students These responsibilities are outlined in the DDA and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards) The Standards require educators students parents and others (eg allied health professionals) to work together so that students with disability can participate in education The Standards can be accessed via the ComLaw website at wwwcomlawgovau
WHAT IS A REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT A reasonable adjustment is a measure or action taken to help a student with disability access and participate in education on the same basis as students without disability Reasonable adjustments reflect the assessed individual needs of the student and are provided in consultation with the student andor their parents and carers Reasonable adjustments can be made across the whole school setting (eg ramps into school buildings) in the classroom (such as adapting class lessons) and at an individual student level (eg extra tuition for a student with learning difficulties)
WHAT INFORMATION WILL BE COLLECTED Every year your childrsquos school will collect the following information for each student with a disability
the studentrsquos level of education (ie primary or secondary)
the studentrsquos level of adjustment
the studentrsquos broad type of disability
The information collected by schools will be provided to all governments to inform policy and programme improvement for students with disability
WHO WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION For the purposes of the national data collection students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or auditory processing disorder as well as chronic health conditions like epilepsy diabetes or asthma that require active monitoring by the school may be included
WHO WILL COLLECT INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION Teachers and school staff will count the number of students with disability in their school and the level of reasonable adjustment they are provided based on
consultation with parents and carers in the course of determining and providing reasonable adjustments
the school teamrsquos observations and professional judgments
any medical or other professional diagnosis
other relevant information
School principals are responsible for ensuring the information identified about each student is accurate
HOW WILL MY CHILDrsquoS PRIVACY BE PROTECTED Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all students and their families is essential Personal details such as student names or other identifying information will not be provided to local or federal education authorities Further information about privacy is available from wwweducationgovaunotices
IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION COMPULSORY All education ministers agreed to full implementation of the national data collection from 2015 This means that all schools must now collect and submit information annually on the number of students with disability in their care and the level of adjustment provided to them Information about the arrangements that may apply to your school in relation to this data collection is available from your childrsquos school principal and the relevant education authority
FURTHER INFORMATION Contact your childrsquos school if you have further questions about the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability You can also visit wwweducationgovaunationally-consistent-collection-data-school-students-disability An e-learning resource about the Disability Standards for Education 2005 is freely available for the use of individuals families and communities at httpresourcedsetheeducationinstituteeduau

Continued from page 1
Already almost 50 of teachers
participated in a series of four evening
workshops in partnership with UNSW
and the GERRIC centre to qualify for a
Certificate of Gifted Education One of
the features of this course was
developing specific subject programs
that responded to the needs of gifted
students At an upcoming Professional
Learning evening those trained teachers
will be supporting those who did not
attend the training in developing these
skills in program writing
The first week back at school will see the
final Parent Teacher night for 2016 This
last evening will again provide parents of
Years 9 and 10 the opportunity to discuss
their studentrsquos progress with their
teachers The final semester one report
was also issued in week 1 for Years 9 10
and 11 and so all students should now
have received their Half Yearly report
Another very successful initiative was
the cake stall and sausage sizzle that took
place on Election Day The PampC art
committee organised the cake stall and
the PampC sports committee organised the
sausage sizzle (with eggs bacon and
onions) both these committees as do
our other parent committees work very
hard to support students at the school
with incredible resources
This time last year we were trialling the
ldquoElevaterdquo program with a number of
year groups This program teaches
students organisational and study skills
and each year builds upon earlier student
workshops The feedback from students
is extremely positive and the Elevate
program is now embedded in the school
calendar
At the end of term our junior and senior
dance ensembles performed at the
Northern Sydney Dance Festival Both
performances were received with high
acclaim Ms Leto our wonderful dance
coordinator also held a dance soiree to
showcase the HSC dance studentsrsquo
performances and choreography The
standard of performance by all students
was outstanding
Three of our drama ensembles have also
been selected to perform at the Sydney
North Drama Festival Our drama
students are so talented I am sure they
will be acclaimed
Many of our students have achieved
incredible success lately both
individually and in teams Ashley
Wilkie Y12 and an SRC leader has
been chosen to lead all cadets in the
Sydney metropolitan region A
fantastic achievement Lara Unkovich
of Y9 belongs to the Metropolitan

for an innovative bike system The Hi-
Viz bike system uses a mix of
technology to protect cyclists on the
road Declan and Callum will now

From the Deputy Principal
Now that Parent Teacher Nights are over
it is important parents and students
reflect on the feedback received through
reports and first semester assessments
The power of feedback has been well
researched It contributes significantly to
students working towards and achieving
their personal best It also has a big
impact on your childrsquos sense of control
An easier way to look at it is if your
child understands why they received a
good teacherrsquos comment or a comment
raising concerns that they in fact should
have a greater sense of control over their
learning by knowing this
Students feel a sense of achievement if
they do great work receive good marks
and positive feedback It confirms their
approach to a task and that it met the
standards of the assessment criteria This
creates pride in a job well done and our
reports acknowledge the student is
achieving their personal best Students
who do not perform to their potential
may not like feedback that their work
was not to their standard and while it
may be tough at least the student knows
what not to do the next time
Students make mistakes and it is
important to understand this and to avoid
- Colette Longley amp Tony Gahan
uncertainty about learning so that the
student knows what it takes to earn
good marks This is called academic
resilience and encourages consistent
engagement in all parts of their
learning For parents to help their child
achieve success no matter their
academic aptitude it is important to
talk frankly about whether they
succeeded or not and then have a chat
about how to repeat success with
similar tasks However if they didnrsquot
succeed discuss what can be learned
from the result to improve with the
next task This focuses your discussion
around tasks rather than overall
performance and helps build your
childrsquos focus on learning
Students need clear guidance about
what you expect of them in semester
two Make your expectations represent
SMART goals ie specific measurable
attainable realistic and time aware To
do this put action around self-
regulatory skills This focuses not on
the mark but the quality of preparation
needed to achieve a good result For
example with your child go to the MHS
website click on quick links
lsquoCalendarrsquo then click on lsquoSchool
Calendar Liversquo and review the next ten
weeks Sit down with them and plan the
next term prepare a schedule and help
your child bring about certainty to their
learning ie there is a test week 5 rather
than I know there is a test coming up but
Irsquom not sure Together you will know
what will be assessed and quality time
can be put aside to prepare for it Your
child will appreciate your help as it
teaches them about being engaged
learners
Here is a pretty SMART goal
In the next assessment task I will take
careful notes and review them at least
two days before the due date and if I am
unsure I should ask the teacher questions
about what I dont understand I will do
my assignment work before I do things
with friends and while preparing I will
look back at feedback that I received
about my skills from other assessment
tasks When I get anything wrong I will
make sure to ask the teacher or one of
my classmates how they got the right
answer
Good luck with semester 2 and be smart
2016 Chinese Bridge Competition

P amp C Report FROM Evan Predavec P amp C President
The meeting also saw a discussion of
the fact that many families in Years 10
and 11 have not paid their school
contributions this year That presents a
problem for the school because those
contributions go to pay for the WiFi
network consumables such as the art
supplies paper for photocopied
booklets and so on
If families have financial difficulty
making the payment there is
government money available to make
up the shortfall But that money is only
available if the school is notified of
difficulty if people simply dont pay
there is no money available
The conclusion the meeting came to was
that people have forgotten and the
documentation has been overlooked So
you can expect to hear more about this
as a reminder over the coming weeks
The next PampC meeting is on Thursday
July 28th at 7pm in the Library
At the last PampC meeting Susan Wyatt
presented a range of facts and figures
about the school Most students
participated in the Tell Them From Me
survey earlier this year and the feedback
was interesting Mostly the feedback was
good and Mosman is performing at a
level above most schools around the
State There are a couple of spots of
concern revolving around student
enthusiasm in some years and bullying
but the school staff are already
addressing these - which just goes to
show the value of the survey
Henry Lawson Festival of Arts Verse and
Short Story Competition
It Starts Now A Poem by Matilda Meikle
I used to love boys things
I didnt love pink skirts dresses and rings
And Ive never looked in the mirror and seen the mess
Of a stereotypical girl in a bow and a dress
I was always the grey sheep in a sea of white
The little girls that walk down the street
All seem to be dancing to the same beat
They dont like pants or the colour blue
And few of them paddle their own canoe
Is that what they want Or is that what they learn
When the time comes for me to go out into the world
Ill be expected to travel the route of a predictable girl
Look right have a family get paid less accept a glass ceiling
And smile about all of that no matter how Im feeling
Its hard to spread your wings when youre inside a cage
But little girls who wear pink or not
Deserve a better future than what weve got
We need a change we need to dream
We need a promising future however tough it may seem
For that we have to choose the harder road the bumpy lane
So that girl who love boys things
Not dresses or rings
Wants to grow up and follow her heart
And that starts now
Courage focus belief purpose - it starts now
Matilda Meikle is a young writer and
poet in Year 7 at Mosman High School
whose included poem explores issues of
gender and courage Her poetry
encourages the audience to reflect on
their stereotypes and the impact that this
has on young girls
Her poem received a highly commended
prize in the Henry Lawson Festival of
Arts Verse and Short Story Competition

Ruby Moon
Last term the year 10 drama class studied and performed a past HSC play
Ruby Moon by Matt Cameron It follows the story of two parents looking
for their lost child and the eccentric neighbourhood characters they interact
with in their search for Ruby This play allowed us to delve into the
characters lives and contrasted the usual cheerful pieces we were used to
performing Studying a post-HSC text was more difficult for us and created
a space where we could discuss and learn about theatre techniques we hadnt
experienced before
Male and female characters who change roles between the couple Sylvie and
Ray and the wacky neighbours down the road usually act the play In our
performance each pair of students workshopped a single scene They
choreographed the movement of the scene and worked on character
development as well as organising props and the set needed As a class we
arranged the lighting and sound cues needed which were used on the night
to produce a fully independent and professional performance Overall
studying Ruby Moon was a new and challenging experience allowing us to
improve our practical technique and understanding of theatre

On Tuesday the 14th of June Ben
Aarons Emma Butler India Rowe and
their teacher Ms Xue went on an
excursion to lsquoDoing Maths like a
Mathematicianrsquo This was a full-day
excursion dedicated to approaching math
questions from a different angle (no pun
intended) Set at the University of
Technology Sydney (UTS) we were
joined by a number of students and their
teachers from other schools across
Sydney to explore and challenge our
understanding of what it means to be a
true mathematician
The main focus of the day was to
appreciate and explore a variety of
approaches to solving interesting
problems As the questions were quite
difficult we worked in groups of three
students the teacher and a volunteer
academic from the university We were
all told that the answer itself wasnrsquot
important but rather the mathematical
thinking and development of ideas that
surrounded how we unpacked questions
and attempted to solve them that did The
day challenged us to criticise our own
thinking and to engage deeply in
substantive communication with one
another
Much to our delight little to no
prompting or explanations were given as
we first encountered the various
problems but rather we were encouraged
to explore and play Needless to say it
was a challenge for all of us (both adult
and student) As more conjectures were
made throughout the room and ideas and
understandings began flowing we
collectively were able to (eventually)
figure out both what the question was
asking and how we just might solve it
The day was a very good experience as it
showed us an entirely different way of
approaching maths and taught us to think
of ideas ourselves
There were four questions we spent the
day trying to solve three of which are
included here Have a go and see if you
have what it takes to lsquoDo Maths like a
Mathematicianrsquo

National Consistent Collection of Data Information for parents and carers
WHAT IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (the national data collection) is an annual collection that counts the number of school students with disability and the level of reasonable educational adjustment they are provided with The national data collection counts students who have been identified by a school team as receiving an adjustment to address a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (the DDA)
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR MY CHILD This information will help teachers the principal and families to better support students with disability to take part in school on the same basis as students without disability The national data collection is an opportunity for our school to review our learning and support systems to continually improve education outcomes for our students with disability
WHY IS THIS DATA BEING COLLECTED The information provided through the national data collection will enable all Australian governments to improve target support and resources to benefit students with disability
WHAT ARE SCHOOLS REQUIRED TO DO FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY All students are entitled to a quality learning experience at school Schools are required to make reasonable adjustments where needed to assist students with disability to access and participate in education free from discrimination and on the same basis as other students These responsibilities are outlined in the DDA and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards) The Standards require educators students parents and others (eg allied health professionals) to work together so that students with disability can participate in education The Standards can be accessed via the ComLaw website at wwwcomlawgovau
WHAT IS A REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT A reasonable adjustment is a measure or action taken to help a student with disability access and participate in education on the same basis as students without disability Reasonable adjustments reflect the assessed individual needs of the student and are provided in consultation with the student andor their parents and carers Reasonable adjustments can be made across the whole school setting (eg ramps into school buildings) in the classroom (such as adapting class lessons) and at an individual student level (eg extra tuition for a student with learning difficulties)
WHAT INFORMATION WILL BE COLLECTED Every year your childrsquos school will collect the following information for each student with a disability
the studentrsquos level of education (ie primary or secondary)
the studentrsquos level of adjustment
the studentrsquos broad type of disability
The information collected by schools will be provided to all governments to inform policy and programme improvement for students with disability
WHO WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION For the purposes of the national data collection students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or auditory processing disorder as well as chronic health conditions like epilepsy diabetes or asthma that require active monitoring by the school may be included
WHO WILL COLLECT INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION Teachers and school staff will count the number of students with disability in their school and the level of reasonable adjustment they are provided based on
consultation with parents and carers in the course of determining and providing reasonable adjustments
the school teamrsquos observations and professional judgments
any medical or other professional diagnosis
other relevant information

From the Deputy Principal
Now that Parent Teacher Nights are over
it is important parents and students
reflect on the feedback received through
reports and first semester assessments
The power of feedback has been well
researched It contributes significantly to
students working towards and achieving
their personal best It also has a big
impact on your childrsquos sense of control
An easier way to look at it is if your
child understands why they received a
good teacherrsquos comment or a comment
raising concerns that they in fact should
have a greater sense of control over their
learning by knowing this
Students feel a sense of achievement if
they do great work receive good marks
and positive feedback It confirms their
approach to a task and that it met the
standards of the assessment criteria This
creates pride in a job well done and our
reports acknowledge the student is
achieving their personal best Students
who do not perform to their potential
may not like feedback that their work
was not to their standard and while it
may be tough at least the student knows
what not to do the next time
Students make mistakes and it is
important to understand this and to avoid
- Colette Longley amp Tony Gahan
uncertainty about learning so that the
student knows what it takes to earn
good marks This is called academic
resilience and encourages consistent
engagement in all parts of their
learning For parents to help their child
achieve success no matter their
academic aptitude it is important to
talk frankly about whether they
succeeded or not and then have a chat
about how to repeat success with
similar tasks However if they didnrsquot
succeed discuss what can be learned
from the result to improve with the
next task This focuses your discussion
around tasks rather than overall
performance and helps build your
childrsquos focus on learning
Students need clear guidance about
what you expect of them in semester
two Make your expectations represent
SMART goals ie specific measurable
attainable realistic and time aware To
do this put action around self-
regulatory skills This focuses not on
the mark but the quality of preparation
needed to achieve a good result For
example with your child go to the MHS
website click on quick links
lsquoCalendarrsquo then click on lsquoSchool
Calendar Liversquo and review the next ten
weeks Sit down with them and plan the
next term prepare a schedule and help
your child bring about certainty to their
learning ie there is a test week 5 rather
than I know there is a test coming up but
Irsquom not sure Together you will know
what will be assessed and quality time
can be put aside to prepare for it Your
child will appreciate your help as it
teaches them about being engaged
learners
Here is a pretty SMART goal
In the next assessment task I will take
careful notes and review them at least
two days before the due date and if I am
unsure I should ask the teacher questions
about what I dont understand I will do
my assignment work before I do things
with friends and while preparing I will
look back at feedback that I received
about my skills from other assessment
tasks When I get anything wrong I will
make sure to ask the teacher or one of
my classmates how they got the right
answer
Good luck with semester 2 and be smart
2016 Chinese Bridge Competition
FROM Victor Zhang Chinese Language Teacher
On 30 May three Year 9 students
Shreyasi Dhungana Ji Woo Kim and
Victoria Moura-Watts attended 2016
Chinese Bridge Competition NSW a
contest for foreign secondary school
students on their mastery of the Chinese
language at Darling Harbour There
were 15 schools that took part in this
competition in which Shreyasi Victoria
and Ji Woo were the youngest
contestants The competition is composed of two
parts speech and talent show All of our
Mosman students sang Chinese songs
in the section of talent show and re-
ceived a lot of applause and cheers
from the audience
They are all confident to expect a
greater success next year

P amp C Report FROM Evan Predavec P amp C President
The meeting also saw a discussion of
the fact that many families in Years 10
and 11 have not paid their school
contributions this year That presents a
problem for the school because those
contributions go to pay for the WiFi
network consumables such as the art
supplies paper for photocopied
booklets and so on
If families have financial difficulty
making the payment there is
government money available to make
up the shortfall But that money is only
available if the school is notified of
difficulty if people simply dont pay
there is no money available
The conclusion the meeting came to was
that people have forgotten and the
documentation has been overlooked So
you can expect to hear more about this
as a reminder over the coming weeks
The next PampC meeting is on Thursday
July 28th at 7pm in the Library
At the last PampC meeting Susan Wyatt
presented a range of facts and figures
about the school Most students
participated in the Tell Them From Me
survey earlier this year and the feedback
was interesting Mostly the feedback was
good and Mosman is performing at a
level above most schools around the
State There are a couple of spots of
concern revolving around student
enthusiasm in some years and bullying
but the school staff are already
addressing these - which just goes to
show the value of the survey
Henry Lawson Festival of Arts Verse and
Short Story Competition
It Starts Now A Poem by Matilda Meikle
I used to love boys things
I didnt love pink skirts dresses and rings
And Ive never looked in the mirror and seen the mess
Of a stereotypical girl in a bow and a dress
I was always the grey sheep in a sea of white
The little girls that walk down the street
All seem to be dancing to the same beat
They dont like pants or the colour blue
And few of them paddle their own canoe
Is that what they want Or is that what they learn
When the time comes for me to go out into the world
Ill be expected to travel the route of a predictable girl
Look right have a family get paid less accept a glass ceiling
And smile about all of that no matter how Im feeling
Its hard to spread your wings when youre inside a cage
But little girls who wear pink or not
Deserve a better future than what weve got
We need a change we need to dream
We need a promising future however tough it may seem
For that we have to choose the harder road the bumpy lane
So that girl who love boys things
Not dresses or rings
Wants to grow up and follow her heart
And that starts now
Courage focus belief purpose - it starts now
Matilda Meikle is a young writer and
poet in Year 7 at Mosman High School
whose included poem explores issues of
gender and courage Her poetry
encourages the audience to reflect on
their stereotypes and the impact that this
has on young girls
Her poem received a highly commended
prize in the Henry Lawson Festival of
Arts Verse and Short Story Competition

Ruby Moon
Last term the year 10 drama class studied and performed a past HSC play
Ruby Moon by Matt Cameron It follows the story of two parents looking
for their lost child and the eccentric neighbourhood characters they interact
with in their search for Ruby This play allowed us to delve into the
characters lives and contrasted the usual cheerful pieces we were used to
performing Studying a post-HSC text was more difficult for us and created
a space where we could discuss and learn about theatre techniques we hadnt
experienced before
Male and female characters who change roles between the couple Sylvie and
Ray and the wacky neighbours down the road usually act the play In our
performance each pair of students workshopped a single scene They
choreographed the movement of the scene and worked on character
development as well as organising props and the set needed As a class we
arranged the lighting and sound cues needed which were used on the night
to produce a fully independent and professional performance Overall
studying Ruby Moon was a new and challenging experience allowing us to
improve our practical technique and understanding of theatre

enormously in your childrsquos success
Although 2017 seems a long way off it
is a good time to start thinking of

year As the TAS (Technology and
Applied Studies) Faculty provides a
myriad of subject courses I would
recommend parents amp students start
investigating the subjects they are
interested in and attend the upcoming
Subject Information Evenings

Technology Mandatory classes and the
limited access to some resources the

impressive results from these keen
students using the lathe for the first time
I congratulate these students for their
enthusiasm and willingness to develop
their practical skills The constant smell
of Camphour Laurel shavings has been a
constant reminder of the lunch time
activity There are opportunities so if you
are keen come to Tech Wood 1 any

On Tuesday the 14th of June Ben
Aarons Emma Butler India Rowe and
their teacher Ms Xue went on an
excursion to lsquoDoing Maths like a
Mathematicianrsquo This was a full-day
excursion dedicated to approaching math
questions from a different angle (no pun
intended) Set at the University of
Technology Sydney (UTS) we were
joined by a number of students and their
teachers from other schools across
Sydney to explore and challenge our
understanding of what it means to be a
true mathematician
The main focus of the day was to
appreciate and explore a variety of
approaches to solving interesting
problems As the questions were quite
difficult we worked in groups of three
students the teacher and a volunteer
academic from the university We were
all told that the answer itself wasnrsquot
important but rather the mathematical
thinking and development of ideas that
surrounded how we unpacked questions
and attempted to solve them that did The
day challenged us to criticise our own
thinking and to engage deeply in
substantive communication with one
another
Much to our delight little to no
prompting or explanations were given as
we first encountered the various
problems but rather we were encouraged
to explore and play Needless to say it
was a challenge for all of us (both adult
and student) As more conjectures were
made throughout the room and ideas and
understandings began flowing we
collectively were able to (eventually)
figure out both what the question was
asking and how we just might solve it
The day was a very good experience as it
showed us an entirely different way of
approaching maths and taught us to think
of ideas ourselves
There were four questions we spent the
day trying to solve three of which are
included here Have a go and see if you
have what it takes to lsquoDo Maths like a
Mathematicianrsquo

National Consistent Collection of Data Information for parents and carers
WHAT IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (the national data collection) is an annual collection that counts the number of school students with disability and the level of reasonable educational adjustment they are provided with The national data collection counts students who have been identified by a school team as receiving an adjustment to address a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (the DDA)
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR MY CHILD This information will help teachers the principal and families to better support students with disability to take part in school on the same basis as students without disability The national data collection is an opportunity for our school to review our learning and support systems to continually improve education outcomes for our students with disability
WHY IS THIS DATA BEING COLLECTED The information provided through the national data collection will enable all Australian governments to improve target support and resources to benefit students with disability
WHAT ARE SCHOOLS REQUIRED TO DO FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY All students are entitled to a quality learning experience at school Schools are required to make reasonable adjustments where needed to assist students with disability to access and participate in education free from discrimination and on the same basis as other students These responsibilities are outlined in the DDA and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards) The Standards require educators students parents and others (eg allied health professionals) to work together so that students with disability can participate in education The Standards can be accessed via the ComLaw website at wwwcomlawgovau
WHAT IS A REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT A reasonable adjustment is a measure or action taken to help a student with disability access and participate in education on the same basis as students without disability Reasonable adjustments reflect the assessed individual needs of the student and are provided in consultation with the student andor their parents and carers Reasonable adjustments can be made across the whole school setting (eg ramps into school buildings) in the classroom (such as adapting class lessons) and at an individual student level (eg extra tuition for a student with learning difficulties)
WHAT INFORMATION WILL BE COLLECTED Every year your childrsquos school will collect the following information for each student with a disability
the studentrsquos level of education (ie primary or secondary)
the studentrsquos level of adjustment
the studentrsquos broad type of disability
The information collected by schools will be provided to all governments to inform policy and programme improvement for students with disability
WHO WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION For the purposes of the national data collection students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or auditory processing disorder as well as chronic health conditions like epilepsy diabetes or asthma that require active monitoring by the school may be included
WHO WILL COLLECT INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION Teachers and school staff will count the number of students with disability in their school and the level of reasonable adjustment they are provided based on
consultation with parents and carers in the course of determining and providing reasonable adjustments
the school teamrsquos observations and professional judgments
any medical or other professional diagnosis
other relevant information
School principals are responsible for ensuring the information identified about each student is accurate
HOW WILL MY CHILDrsquoS PRIVACY BE PROTECTED Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all students and their families is essential Personal details such as student names or other identifying information will not be provided to local or federal education authorities Further information about privacy is available from wwweducationgovaunotices
IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION COMPULSORY All education ministers agreed to full implementation of the national data collection from 2015 This means that all schools must now collect and submit information annually on the number of students with disability in their care and the level of adjustment provided to them Information about the arrangements that may apply to your school in relation to this data collection is available from your childrsquos school principal and the relevant education authority
FURTHER INFORMATION Contact your childrsquos school if you have further questions about the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability You can also visit wwweducationgovaunationally-consistent-collection-data-school-students-disability An e-learning resource about the Disability Standards for Education 2005 is freely available for the use of individuals families and communities at httpresourcedsetheeducationinstituteeduau

P amp C Report FROM Evan Predavec P amp C President
The meeting also saw a discussion of
the fact that many families in Years 10
and 11 have not paid their school
contributions this year That presents a
problem for the school because those
contributions go to pay for the WiFi
network consumables such as the art
supplies paper for photocopied
booklets and so on
If families have financial difficulty
making the payment there is
government money available to make
up the shortfall But that money is only
available if the school is notified of
difficulty if people simply dont pay
there is no money available
The conclusion the meeting came to was
that people have forgotten and the
documentation has been overlooked So
you can expect to hear more about this
as a reminder over the coming weeks
The next PampC meeting is on Thursday
July 28th at 7pm in the Library
At the last PampC meeting Susan Wyatt
presented a range of facts and figures
about the school Most students
participated in the Tell Them From Me
survey earlier this year and the feedback
was interesting Mostly the feedback was
good and Mosman is performing at a
level above most schools around the
State There are a couple of spots of
concern revolving around student
enthusiasm in some years and bullying
but the school staff are already
addressing these - which just goes to
show the value of the survey
Henry Lawson Festival of Arts Verse and
Short Story Competition
It Starts Now A Poem by Matilda Meikle
I used to love boys things
I didnt love pink skirts dresses and rings
And Ive never looked in the mirror and seen the mess
Of a stereotypical girl in a bow and a dress
I was always the grey sheep in a sea of white
The little girls that walk down the street
All seem to be dancing to the same beat
They dont like pants or the colour blue
And few of them paddle their own canoe
Is that what they want Or is that what they learn
When the time comes for me to go out into the world
Ill be expected to travel the route of a predictable girl
Look right have a family get paid less accept a glass ceiling
And smile about all of that no matter how Im feeling
Its hard to spread your wings when youre inside a cage
But little girls who wear pink or not
Deserve a better future than what weve got
We need a change we need to dream
We need a promising future however tough it may seem
For that we have to choose the harder road the bumpy lane
So that girl who love boys things
Not dresses or rings
Wants to grow up and follow her heart
And that starts now
Courage focus belief purpose - it starts now
Matilda Meikle is a young writer and
poet in Year 7 at Mosman High School
whose included poem explores issues of
gender and courage Her poetry
encourages the audience to reflect on
their stereotypes and the impact that this
has on young girls
Her poem received a highly commended
prize in the Henry Lawson Festival of
Arts Verse and Short Story Competition

Ruby Moon
Last term the year 10 drama class studied and performed a past HSC play
Ruby Moon by Matt Cameron It follows the story of two parents looking
for their lost child and the eccentric neighbourhood characters they interact
with in their search for Ruby This play allowed us to delve into the
characters lives and contrasted the usual cheerful pieces we were used to
performing Studying a post-HSC text was more difficult for us and created
a space where we could discuss and learn about theatre techniques we hadnt
experienced before
Male and female characters who change roles between the couple Sylvie and
Ray and the wacky neighbours down the road usually act the play In our
performance each pair of students workshopped a single scene They
choreographed the movement of the scene and worked on character
development as well as organising props and the set needed As a class we
arranged the lighting and sound cues needed which were used on the night
to produce a fully independent and professional performance Overall
studying Ruby Moon was a new and challenging experience allowing us to
improve our practical technique and understanding of theatre

TAS Report FROM Mark Jones Head Teacher TAS
Teacher nights as communication helps
enormously in your childrsquos success
Although 2017 seems a long way off it
is a good time to start thinking of
Electives for Years 9 10 amp 11 for next
year As the TAS (Technology and
Applied Studies) Faculty provides a
myriad of subject courses I would
recommend parents amp students start
investigating the subjects they are
interested in and attend the upcoming
Subject Information Evenings
Due to the large number of year 7
Technology Mandatory classes and the
limited access to some resources the
Lunch time wood turners group has
been a great success and will continue
this term The 5 wood lathes in E
Block have been used consistently every
lunch time during Term 2 with many
beautiful bowls mallets and egg cups
being produced Below are some of the
impressive results from these keen
students using the lathe for the first time
I congratulate these students for their
enthusiasm and willingness to develop
their practical skills The constant smell
of Camphour Laurel shavings has been a
constant reminder of the lunch time
activity There are opportunities so if you
are keen come to Tech Wood 1 any
Lunchtime and have a go Irsquom sure
yoursquoll enjoy the experience

On Tuesday the 14th of June Ben
Aarons Emma Butler India Rowe and
their teacher Ms Xue went on an
excursion to lsquoDoing Maths like a
Mathematicianrsquo This was a full-day
excursion dedicated to approaching math
questions from a different angle (no pun
intended) Set at the University of
Technology Sydney (UTS) we were
joined by a number of students and their
teachers from other schools across
Sydney to explore and challenge our
understanding of what it means to be a
true mathematician
The main focus of the day was to
appreciate and explore a variety of
approaches to solving interesting
problems As the questions were quite
difficult we worked in groups of three
students the teacher and a volunteer
academic from the university We were
all told that the answer itself wasnrsquot
important but rather the mathematical
thinking and development of ideas that
surrounded how we unpacked questions
and attempted to solve them that did The
day challenged us to criticise our own
thinking and to engage deeply in
substantive communication with one
another
Much to our delight little to no
prompting or explanations were given as
we first encountered the various
problems but rather we were encouraged
to explore and play Needless to say it
was a challenge for all of us (both adult
and student) As more conjectures were
made throughout the room and ideas and
understandings began flowing we
collectively were able to (eventually)
figure out both what the question was
asking and how we just might solve it
The day was a very good experience as it
showed us an entirely different way of
approaching maths and taught us to think
of ideas ourselves
There were four questions we spent the
day trying to solve three of which are
included here Have a go and see if you
have what it takes to lsquoDo Maths like a
Mathematicianrsquo

National Consistent Collection of Data Information for parents and carers
WHAT IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (the national data collection) is an annual collection that counts the number of school students with disability and the level of reasonable educational adjustment they are provided with The national data collection counts students who have been identified by a school team as receiving an adjustment to address a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (the DDA)
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR MY CHILD This information will help teachers the principal and families to better support students with disability to take part in school on the same basis as students without disability The national data collection is an opportunity for our school to review our learning and support systems to continually improve education outcomes for our students with disability
WHY IS THIS DATA BEING COLLECTED The information provided through the national data collection will enable all Australian governments to improve target support and resources to benefit students with disability
WHAT ARE SCHOOLS REQUIRED TO DO FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY All students are entitled to a quality learning experience at school Schools are required to make reasonable adjustments where needed to assist students with disability to access and participate in education free from discrimination and on the same basis as other students These responsibilities are outlined in the DDA and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards) The Standards require educators students parents and others (eg allied health professionals) to work together so that students with disability can participate in education The Standards can be accessed via the ComLaw website at wwwcomlawgovau
WHAT IS A REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT A reasonable adjustment is a measure or action taken to help a student with disability access and participate in education on the same basis as students without disability Reasonable adjustments reflect the assessed individual needs of the student and are provided in consultation with the student andor their parents and carers Reasonable adjustments can be made across the whole school setting (eg ramps into school buildings) in the classroom (such as adapting class lessons) and at an individual student level (eg extra tuition for a student with learning difficulties)
WHAT INFORMATION WILL BE COLLECTED Every year your childrsquos school will collect the following information for each student with a disability
the studentrsquos level of education (ie primary or secondary)
the studentrsquos level of adjustment
the studentrsquos broad type of disability
The information collected by schools will be provided to all governments to inform policy and programme improvement for students with disability
WHO WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION For the purposes of the national data collection students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or auditory processing disorder as well as chronic health conditions like epilepsy diabetes or asthma that require active monitoring by the school may be included
WHO WILL COLLECT INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION Teachers and school staff will count the number of students with disability in their school and the level of reasonable adjustment they are provided based on
consultation with parents and carers in the course of determining and providing reasonable adjustments
the school teamrsquos observations and professional judgments
any medical or other professional diagnosis
other relevant information
School principals are responsible for ensuring the information identified about each student is accurate
HOW WILL MY CHILDrsquoS PRIVACY BE PROTECTED Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all students and their families is essential Personal details such as student names or other identifying information will not be provided to local or federal education authorities Further information about privacy is available from wwweducationgovaunotices
IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION COMPULSORY All education ministers agreed to full implementation of the national data collection from 2015 This means that all schools must now collect and submit information annually on the number of students with disability in their care and the level of adjustment provided to them Information about the arrangements that may apply to your school in relation to this data collection is available from your childrsquos school principal and the relevant education authority

week I would like to wish all
Performing Arts students success in their
practical exams
Year 8 and 9 are busily rehearsing plays
that will be presented later in the term
Both Miss Urlich and Ms Mulhall are
really pleased with the auditions and the
students are ready to take ownership of

unit as it gives students experience in a
sustained production
Donrsquot forget to put an entry into our film
festival MosFest screening in term 4

brilliantly at a recent benefit at the
Sydney Town Hall
We also have three Drama Ensembles in
the Arts North Drama Festival Two

Bennett Leilani Holmes Skrill Eliza
Slimes and Amy Wojciechowski) and

Sandiford and Lola Trajkovich) They
will perform at the Seymour Centre late
in July Good Luck
Ruby Moon
Last term the year 10 drama class studied and performed a past HSC play
Ruby Moon by Matt Cameron It follows the story of two parents looking
for their lost child and the eccentric neighbourhood characters they interact
with in their search for Ruby This play allowed us to delve into the
characters lives and contrasted the usual cheerful pieces we were used to
performing Studying a post-HSC text was more difficult for us and created
a space where we could discuss and learn about theatre techniques we hadnt
experienced before
Male and female characters who change roles between the couple Sylvie and
Ray and the wacky neighbours down the road usually act the play In our
performance each pair of students workshopped a single scene They
choreographed the movement of the scene and worked on character
development as well as organising props and the set needed As a class we
arranged the lighting and sound cues needed which were used on the night
to produce a fully independent and professional performance Overall
studying Ruby Moon was a new and challenging experience allowing us to
improve our practical technique and understanding of theatre

TAS Report FROM Mark Jones Head Teacher TAS
Teacher nights as communication helps
enormously in your childrsquos success
Although 2017 seems a long way off it
is a good time to start thinking of
Electives for Years 9 10 amp 11 for next
year As the TAS (Technology and
Applied Studies) Faculty provides a
myriad of subject courses I would
recommend parents amp students start
investigating the subjects they are
interested in and attend the upcoming

Technology Mandatory classes and the
limited access to some resources the

impressive results from these keen
students using the lathe for the first time

On Tuesday the 14th of June Ben
Aarons Emma Butler India Rowe and
their teacher Ms Xue went on an
excursion to lsquoDoing Maths like a
Mathematicianrsquo This was a full-day
excursion dedicated to approaching math
questions from a different angle (no pun
intended) Set at the University of
Technology Sydney (UTS) we were
joined by a number of students and their
teachers from other schools across
Sydney to explore and challenge our
understanding of what it means to be a
true mathematician
The main focus of the day was to
appreciate and explore a variety of
approaches to solving interesting
problems As the questions were quite
difficult we worked in groups of three
students the teacher and a volunteer
academic from the university We were
all told that the answer itself wasnrsquot
important but rather the mathematical
thinking and development of ideas that
surrounded how we unpacked questions
and attempted to solve them that did The
day challenged us to criticise our own
thinking and to engage deeply in
substantive communication with one
another
Much to our delight little to no
prompting or explanations were given as
we first encountered the various
problems but rather we were encouraged
to explore and play Needless to say it
was a challenge for all of us (both adult
and student) As more conjectures were
made throughout the room and ideas and
understandings began flowing we
collectively were able to (eventually)
figure out both what the question was
asking and how we just might solve it
The day was a very good experience as it
showed us an entirely different way of
approaching maths and taught us to think
of ideas ourselves
There were four questions we spent the
day trying to solve three of which are
included here Have a go and see if you
have what it takes to lsquoDo Maths like a
Mathematicianrsquo

National Consistent Collection of Data Information for parents and carers
WHAT IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (the national data collection) is an annual collection that counts the number of school students with disability and the level of reasonable educational adjustment they are provided with The national data collection counts students who have been identified by a school team as receiving an adjustment to address a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (the DDA)
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR MY CHILD This information will help teachers the principal and families to better support students with disability to take part in school on the same basis as students without disability The national data collection is an opportunity for our school to review our learning and support systems to continually improve education outcomes for our students with disability
WHY IS THIS DATA BEING COLLECTED The information provided through the national data collection will enable all Australian governments to improve target support and resources to benefit students with disability
WHAT ARE SCHOOLS REQUIRED TO DO FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY All students are entitled to a quality learning experience at school Schools are required to make reasonable adjustments where needed to assist students with disability to access and participate in education free from discrimination and on the same basis as other students These responsibilities are outlined in the DDA and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards) The Standards require educators students parents and others (eg allied health professionals) to work together so that students with disability can participate in education The Standards can be accessed via the ComLaw website at wwwcomlawgovau
WHAT IS A REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT A reasonable adjustment is a measure or action taken to help a student with disability access and participate in education on the same basis as students without disability Reasonable adjustments reflect the assessed individual needs of the student and are provided in consultation with the student andor their parents and carers Reasonable adjustments can be made across the whole school setting (eg ramps into school buildings) in the classroom (such as adapting class lessons) and at an individual student level (eg extra tuition for a student with learning difficulties)
WHAT INFORMATION WILL BE COLLECTED Every year your childrsquos school will collect the following information for each student with a disability
the studentrsquos level of education (ie primary or secondary)
the studentrsquos level of adjustment
the studentrsquos broad type of disability
The information collected by schools will be provided to all governments to inform policy and programme improvement for students with disability
WHO WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION For the purposes of the national data collection students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or auditory processing disorder as well as chronic health conditions like epilepsy diabetes or asthma that require active monitoring by the school may be included
WHO WILL COLLECT INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION Teachers and school staff will count the number of students with disability in their school and the level of reasonable adjustment they are provided based on
consultation with parents and carers in the course of determining and providing reasonable adjustments
the school teamrsquos observations and professional judgments
any medical or other professional diagnosis
other relevant information
School principals are responsible for ensuring the information identified about each student is accurate
HOW WILL MY CHILDrsquoS PRIVACY BE PROTECTED Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all students and their families is essential Personal details such as student names or other identifying information will not be provided to local or federal education authorities Further information about privacy is available from wwweducationgovaunotices
IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION COMPULSORY All education ministers agreed to full implementation of the national data collection from 2015 This means that all schools must now collect and submit information annually on the number of students with disability in their care and the level of adjustment provided to them Information about the arrangements that may apply to your school in relation to this data collection is available from your childrsquos school principal and the relevant education authority
FURTHER INFORMATION Contact your childrsquos school if you have further questions about the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability You can also visit wwweducationgovaunationally-consistent-collection-data-school-students-disability An e-learning resource about the Disability Standards for Education 2005 is freely available for the use of individuals families and communities at httpresourcedsetheeducationinstituteeduau

On Tuesday the 14th of June Ben
Aarons Emma Butler India Rowe and
their teacher Ms Xue went on an
excursion to lsquoDoing Maths like a
Mathematicianrsquo This was a full-day
excursion dedicated to approaching math
questions from a different angle (no pun
intended) Set at the University of
Technology Sydney (UTS) we were
joined by a number of students and their
teachers from other schools across
Sydney to explore and challenge our
understanding of what it means to be a
true mathematician
The main focus of the day was to
appreciate and explore a variety of
approaches to solving interesting
problems As the questions were quite
difficult we worked in groups of three
students the teacher and a volunteer
academic from the university We were
all told that the answer itself wasnrsquot
important but rather the mathematical
thinking and development of ideas that
surrounded how we unpacked questions
and attempted to solve them that did The
day challenged us to criticise our own
thinking and to engage deeply in
substantive communication with one
another
Much to our delight little to no
prompting or explanations were given as
we first encountered the various
problems but rather we were encouraged
to explore and play Needless to say it
was a challenge for all of us (both adult
and student) As more conjectures were
made throughout the room and ideas and
understandings began flowing we
collectively were able to (eventually)
figure out both what the question was
asking and how we just might solve it
The day was a very good experience as it
showed us an entirely different way of
approaching maths and taught us to think
of ideas ourselves
There were four questions we spent the
day trying to solve three of which are
included here Have a go and see if you
have what it takes to lsquoDo Maths like a
Mathematicianrsquo

National Consistent Collection of Data Information for parents and carers
WHAT IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (the national data collection) is an annual collection that counts the number of school students with disability and the level of reasonable educational adjustment they are provided with The national data collection counts students who have been identified by a school team as receiving an adjustment to address a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (the DDA)
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR MY CHILD This information will help teachers the principal and families to better support students with disability to take part in school on the same basis as students without disability The national data collection is an opportunity for our school to review our learning and support systems to continually improve education outcomes for our students with disability
WHY IS THIS DATA BEING COLLECTED The information provided through the national data collection will enable all Australian governments to improve target support and resources to benefit students with disability
WHAT ARE SCHOOLS REQUIRED TO DO FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY All students are entitled to a quality learning experience at school Schools are required to make reasonable adjustments where needed to assist students with disability to access and participate in education free from discrimination and on the same basis as other students These responsibilities are outlined in the DDA and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards) The Standards require educators students parents and others (eg allied health professionals) to work together so that students with disability can participate in education The Standards can be accessed via the ComLaw website at wwwcomlawgovau
WHAT IS A REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT A reasonable adjustment is a measure or action taken to help a student with disability access and participate in education on the same basis as students without disability Reasonable adjustments reflect the assessed individual needs of the student and are provided in consultation with the student andor their parents and carers Reasonable adjustments can be made across the whole school setting (eg ramps into school buildings) in the classroom (such as adapting class lessons) and at an individual student level (eg extra tuition for a student with learning difficulties)
WHAT INFORMATION WILL BE COLLECTED Every year your childrsquos school will collect the following information for each student with a disability
the studentrsquos level of education (ie primary or secondary)
the studentrsquos level of adjustment
the studentrsquos broad type of disability
The information collected by schools will be provided to all governments to inform policy and programme improvement for students with disability
WHO WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION For the purposes of the national data collection students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or auditory processing disorder as well as chronic health conditions like epilepsy diabetes or asthma that require active monitoring by the school may be included
WHO WILL COLLECT INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION Teachers and school staff will count the number of students with disability in their school and the level of reasonable adjustment they are provided based on
consultation with parents and carers in the course of determining and providing reasonable adjustments
the school teamrsquos observations and professional judgments
any medical or other professional diagnosis
other relevant information
School principals are responsible for ensuring the information identified about each student is accurate
HOW WILL MY CHILDrsquoS PRIVACY BE PROTECTED Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all students and their families is essential Personal details such as student names or other identifying information will not be provided to local or federal education authorities Further information about privacy is available from wwweducationgovaunotices
IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION COMPULSORY All education ministers agreed to full implementation of the national data collection from 2015 This means that all schools must now collect and submit information annually on the number of students with disability in their care and the level of adjustment provided to them Information about the arrangements that may apply to your school in relation to this data collection is available from your childrsquos school principal and the relevant education authority
FURTHER INFORMATION Contact your childrsquos school if you have further questions about the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability You can also visit wwweducationgovaunationally-consistent-collection-data-school-students-disability An e-learning resource about the Disability Standards for Education 2005 is freely available for the use of individuals families and communities at httpresourcedsetheeducationinstituteeduau

enormously in your childrsquos success
Although 2017 seems a long way off it
is a good time to start thinking of

year As the TAS (Technology and
Applied Studies) Faculty provides a
myriad of subject courses I would
recommend parents amp students start
investigating the subjects they are
interested in and attend the upcoming

On Tuesday the 14th of June Ben
Aarons Emma Butler India Rowe and
their teacher Ms Xue went on an
excursion to lsquoDoing Maths like a
Mathematicianrsquo This was a full-day
excursion dedicated to approaching math
questions from a different angle (no pun
intended) Set at the University of
Technology Sydney (UTS) we were
joined by a number of students and their
teachers from other schools across
Sydney to explore and challenge our
understanding of what it means to be a
true mathematician
The main focus of the day was to
appreciate and explore a variety of
approaches to solving interesting
problems As the questions were quite
difficult we worked in groups of three
students the teacher and a volunteer
academic from the university We were
all told that the answer itself wasnrsquot
important but rather the mathematical
thinking and development of ideas that
surrounded how we unpacked questions
and attempted to solve them that did The
day challenged us to criticise our own
thinking and to engage deeply in
substantive communication with one
another
Much to our delight little to no
prompting or explanations were given as
we first encountered the various
problems but rather we were encouraged
to explore and play Needless to say it
was a challenge for all of us (both adult
and student) As more conjectures were
made throughout the room and ideas and
understandings began flowing we
collectively were able to (eventually)
figure out both what the question was
asking and how we just might solve it
The day was a very good experience as it
showed us an entirely different way of
approaching maths and taught us to think
of ideas ourselves
There were four questions we spent the
day trying to solve three of which are
included here Have a go and see if you
have what it takes to lsquoDo Maths like a
Mathematicianrsquo

National Consistent Collection of Data Information for parents and carers
WHAT IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (the national data collection) is an annual collection that counts the number of school students with disability and the level of reasonable educational adjustment they are provided with The national data collection counts students who have been identified by a school team as receiving an adjustment to address a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (the DDA)
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR MY CHILD This information will help teachers the principal and families to better support students with disability to take part in school on the same basis as students without disability The national data collection is an opportunity for our school to review our learning and support systems to continually improve education outcomes for our students with disability
WHY IS THIS DATA BEING COLLECTED The information provided through the national data collection will enable all Australian governments to improve target support and resources to benefit students with disability
WHAT ARE SCHOOLS REQUIRED TO DO FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY All students are entitled to a quality learning experience at school Schools are required to make reasonable adjustments where needed to assist students with disability to access and participate in education free from discrimination and on the same basis as other students These responsibilities are outlined in the DDA and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards) The Standards require educators students parents and others (eg allied health professionals) to work together so that students with disability can participate in education The Standards can be accessed via the ComLaw website at wwwcomlawgovau
WHAT IS A REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT A reasonable adjustment is a measure or action taken to help a student with disability access and participate in education on the same basis as students without disability Reasonable adjustments reflect the assessed individual needs of the student and are provided in consultation with the student andor their parents and carers Reasonable adjustments can be made across the whole school setting (eg ramps into school buildings) in the classroom (such as adapting class lessons) and at an individual student level (eg extra tuition for a student with learning difficulties)
WHAT INFORMATION WILL BE COLLECTED Every year your childrsquos school will collect the following information for each student with a disability
the studentrsquos level of education (ie primary or secondary)
the studentrsquos level of adjustment
the studentrsquos broad type of disability
The information collected by schools will be provided to all governments to inform policy and programme improvement for students with disability
WHO WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION For the purposes of the national data collection students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or auditory processing disorder as well as chronic health conditions like epilepsy diabetes or asthma that require active monitoring by the school may be included

Applied Studies) Faculty provides a
myriad of subject courses I would

On Tuesday the 14th of June Ben
Aarons Emma Butler India Rowe and
their teacher Ms Xue went on an
excursion to lsquoDoing Maths like a
Mathematicianrsquo This was a full-day
excursion dedicated to approaching math
questions from a different angle (no pun
intended) Set at the University of
Technology Sydney (UTS) we were
joined by a number of students and their
teachers from other schools across
Sydney to explore and challenge our
understanding of what it means to be a
true mathematician
The main focus of the day was to
appreciate and explore a variety of
approaches to solving interesting
problems As the questions were quite
difficult we worked in groups of three
students the teacher and a volunteer
academic from the university We were
all told that the answer itself wasnrsquot
important but rather the mathematical
thinking and development of ideas that
surrounded how we unpacked questions
and attempted to solve them that did The
day challenged us to criticise our own
thinking and to engage deeply in
substantive communication with one
another
Much to our delight little to no
prompting or explanations were given as
we first encountered the various
problems but rather we were encouraged
to explore and play Needless to say it
was a challenge for all of us (both adult
and student) As more conjectures were
made throughout the room and ideas and
understandings began flowing we
collectively were able to (eventually)
figure out both what the question was
asking and how we just might solve it
The day was a very good experience as it
showed us an entirely different way of
approaching maths and taught us to think
of ideas ourselves
There were four questions we spent the
day trying to solve three of which are
included here Have a go and see if you
have what it takes to lsquoDo Maths like a
Mathematicianrsquo

National Consistent Collection of Data Information for parents and carers
WHAT IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (the national data collection) is an annual collection that counts the number of school students with disability and the level of reasonable educational adjustment they are provided with The national data collection counts students who have been identified by a school team as receiving an adjustment to address a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (the DDA)
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR MY CHILD This information will help teachers the principal and families to better support students with disability to take part in school on the same basis as students without disability The national data collection is an opportunity for our school to review our learning and support systems to continually improve education outcomes for our students with disability
WHY IS THIS DATA BEING COLLECTED The information provided through the national data collection will enable all Australian governments to improve target support and resources to benefit students with disability
WHAT ARE SCHOOLS REQUIRED TO DO FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY All students are entitled to a quality learning experience at school Schools are required to make reasonable adjustments where needed to assist students with disability to access and participate in education free from discrimination and on the same basis as other students These responsibilities are outlined in the DDA and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards) The Standards require educators students parents and others (eg allied health professionals) to work together so that students with disability can participate in education The Standards can be accessed via the ComLaw website at wwwcomlawgovau
WHAT IS A REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT A reasonable adjustment is a measure or action taken to help a student with disability access and participate in education on the same basis as students without disability Reasonable adjustments reflect the assessed individual needs of the student and are provided in consultation with the student andor their parents and carers Reasonable adjustments can be made across the whole school setting (eg ramps into school buildings) in the classroom (such as adapting class lessons) and at an individual student level (eg extra tuition for a student with learning difficulties)
WHAT INFORMATION WILL BE COLLECTED Every year your childrsquos school will collect the following information for each student with a disability
the studentrsquos level of education (ie primary or secondary)

Teacher nights as communication helps
enormously in your childrsquos success
Although 2017 seems a long way off it

year As the TAS (Technology and
Applied Studies) Faculty provides a
myriad of subject courses I would
recommend parents amp students start
investigating the subjects they are
interested in and attend the upcoming

lunch time during Term 2 with many
beautiful bowls mallets and egg cups

impressive results from these keen
students using the lathe for the first time
I congratulate these students for their
enthusiasm and willingness to develop
their practical skills The constant smell
of Camphour Laurel shavings has been a
constant reminder of the lunch time
activity There are opportunities so if you
are keen come to Tech Wood 1 any
Lunchtime and have a go Irsquom sure

On Tuesday the 14th of June Ben
Aarons Emma Butler India Rowe and
their teacher Ms Xue went on an
excursion to lsquoDoing Maths like a
Mathematicianrsquo This was a full-day
excursion dedicated to approaching math
questions from a different angle (no pun
intended) Set at the University of
Technology Sydney (UTS) we were
joined by a number of students and their
teachers from other schools across
Sydney to explore and challenge our
understanding of what it means to be a
true mathematician
The main focus of the day was to
appreciate and explore a variety of
approaches to solving interesting
problems As the questions were quite
difficult we worked in groups of three
students the teacher and a volunteer
academic from the university We were
all told that the answer itself wasnrsquot
important but rather the mathematical
thinking and development of ideas that
surrounded how we unpacked questions
and attempted to solve them that did The
day challenged us to criticise our own
thinking and to engage deeply in
substantive communication with one
another
Much to our delight little to no
prompting or explanations were given as
we first encountered the various
problems but rather we were encouraged
to explore and play Needless to say it
was a challenge for all of us (both adult
and student) As more conjectures were
made throughout the room and ideas and
understandings began flowing we
collectively were able to (eventually)
figure out both what the question was
asking and how we just might solve it
The day was a very good experience as it
showed us an entirely different way of
approaching maths and taught us to think
of ideas ourselves
There were four questions we spent the
day trying to solve three of which are
included here Have a go and see if you
have what it takes to lsquoDo Maths like a
Mathematicianrsquo

National Consistent Collection of Data Information for parents and carers
WHAT IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (the national data collection) is an annual collection that counts the number of school students with disability and the level of reasonable educational adjustment they are provided with The national data collection counts students who have been identified by a school team as receiving an adjustment to address a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (the DDA)
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR MY CHILD This information will help teachers the principal and families to better support students with disability to take part in school on the same basis as students without disability The national data collection is an opportunity for our school to review our learning and support systems to continually improve education outcomes for our students with disability
WHY IS THIS DATA BEING COLLECTED The information provided through the national data collection will enable all Australian governments to improve target support and resources to benefit students with disability
WHAT ARE SCHOOLS REQUIRED TO DO FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY All students are entitled to a quality learning experience at school Schools are required to make reasonable adjustments where needed to assist students with disability to access and participate in education free from discrimination and on the same basis as other students These responsibilities are outlined in the DDA and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards) The Standards require educators students parents and others (eg allied health professionals) to work together so that students with disability can participate in education The Standards can be accessed via the ComLaw website at wwwcomlawgovau
WHAT IS A REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT A reasonable adjustment is a measure or action taken to help a student with disability access and participate in education on the same basis as students without disability Reasonable adjustments reflect the assessed individual needs of the student and are provided in consultation with the student andor their parents and carers Reasonable adjustments can be made across the whole school setting (eg ramps into school buildings) in the classroom (such as adapting class lessons) and at an individual student level (eg extra tuition for a student with learning difficulties)
WHAT INFORMATION WILL BE COLLECTED Every year your childrsquos school will collect the following information for each student with a disability
the studentrsquos level of education (ie primary or secondary)
the studentrsquos level of adjustment
the studentrsquos broad type of disability
The information collected by schools will be provided to all governments to inform policy and programme improvement for students with disability
WHO WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION For the purposes of the national data collection students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or auditory processing disorder as well as chronic health conditions like epilepsy diabetes or asthma that require active monitoring by the school may be included
WHO WILL COLLECT INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION Teachers and school staff will count the number of students with disability in their school and the level of reasonable adjustment they are provided based on
consultation with parents and carers in the course of determining and providing reasonable adjustments
the school teamrsquos observations and professional judgments

On Tuesday the 14th of June Ben
Aarons Emma Butler India Rowe and
their teacher Ms Xue went on an
excursion to lsquoDoing Maths like a
Mathematicianrsquo This was a full-day
excursion dedicated to approaching math
questions from a different angle (no pun
intended) Set at the University of
Technology Sydney (UTS) we were
joined by a number of students and their
teachers from other schools across
Sydney to explore and challenge our
understanding of what it means to be a
true mathematician
The main focus of the day was to
appreciate and explore a variety of
approaches to solving interesting
problems As the questions were quite
difficult we worked in groups of three
students the teacher and a volunteer
academic from the university We were
all told that the answer itself wasnrsquot
important but rather the mathematical
thinking and development of ideas that
surrounded how we unpacked questions
and attempted to solve them that did The
day challenged us to criticise our own
thinking and to engage deeply in
substantive communication with one
another
Much to our delight little to no
prompting or explanations were given as
we first encountered the various
problems but rather we were encouraged
to explore and play Needless to say it
was a challenge for all of us (both adult
and student) As more conjectures were
made throughout the room and ideas and
understandings began flowing we
collectively were able to (eventually)
figure out both what the question was
asking and how we just might solve it
The day was a very good experience as it
showed us an entirely different way of
approaching maths and taught us to think
of ideas ourselves
There were four questions we spent the
day trying to solve three of which are
included here Have a go and see if you
have what it takes to lsquoDo Maths like a
Mathematicianrsquo

National Consistent Collection of Data Information for parents and carers
WHAT IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (the national data collection) is an annual collection that counts the number of school students with disability and the level of reasonable educational adjustment they are provided with The national data collection counts students who have been identified by a school team as receiving an adjustment to address a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (the DDA)
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR MY CHILD This information will help teachers the principal and families to better support students with disability to take part in school on the same basis as students without disability The national data collection is an opportunity for our school to review our learning and support systems to continually improve education outcomes for our students with disability
WHY IS THIS DATA BEING COLLECTED The information provided through the national data collection will enable all Australian governments to improve target support and resources to benefit students with disability
WHAT ARE SCHOOLS REQUIRED TO DO FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY All students are entitled to a quality learning experience at school Schools are required to make reasonable adjustments where needed to assist students with disability to access and participate in education free from discrimination and on the same basis as other students These responsibilities are outlined in the DDA and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards) The Standards require educators students parents and others (eg allied health professionals) to work together so that students with disability can participate in education The Standards can be accessed via the ComLaw website at wwwcomlawgovau
WHAT IS A REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT A reasonable adjustment is a measure or action taken to help a student with disability access and participate in education on the same basis as students without disability Reasonable adjustments reflect the assessed individual needs of the student and are provided in consultation with the student andor their parents and carers Reasonable adjustments can be made across the whole school setting (eg ramps into school buildings) in the classroom (such as adapting class lessons) and at an individual student level (eg extra tuition for a student with learning difficulties)
WHAT INFORMATION WILL BE COLLECTED Every year your childrsquos school will collect the following information for each student with a disability
the studentrsquos level of education (ie primary or secondary)
the studentrsquos level of adjustment
the studentrsquos broad type of disability
The information collected by schools will be provided to all governments to inform policy and programme improvement for students with disability
WHO WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION For the purposes of the national data collection students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or auditory processing disorder as well as chronic health conditions like epilepsy diabetes or asthma that require active monitoring by the school may be included
WHO WILL COLLECT INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION Teachers and school staff will count the number of students with disability in their school and the level of reasonable adjustment they are provided based on
consultation with parents and carers in the course of determining and providing reasonable adjustments
the school teamrsquos observations and professional judgments
any medical or other professional diagnosis
other relevant information
School principals are responsible for ensuring the information identified about each student is accurate
HOW WILL MY CHILDrsquoS PRIVACY BE PROTECTED Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all students and their families is essential Personal details such as student names or other identifying information will not be provided to local or federal education authorities Further information about privacy is available from wwweducationgovaunotices
IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION COMPULSORY All education ministers agreed to full implementation of the national data collection from 2015 This means that all schools must now collect and submit information annually on the number of students with disability in their care and the level of adjustment provided to them Information about the arrangements that may apply to your school in relation to this data collection is available from your childrsquos school principal and the relevant education authority

MOSMAN HIGH FLYER JULY 2016

On Tuesday the 14th of June Ben
Aarons Emma Butler India Rowe and
their teacher Ms Xue went on an
excursion to lsquoDoing Maths like a
Mathematicianrsquo This was a full-day
excursion dedicated to approaching math
questions from a different angle (no pun
intended) Set at the University of
Technology Sydney (UTS) we were
joined by a number of students and their
teachers from other schools across
Sydney to explore and challenge our
understanding of what it means to be a
true mathematician
The main focus of the day was to
appreciate and explore a variety of
approaches to solving interesting
problems As the questions were quite
difficult we worked in groups of three
students the teacher and a volunteer
academic from the university We were
all told that the answer itself wasnrsquot
important but rather the mathematical
thinking and development of ideas that
surrounded how we unpacked questions
and attempted to solve them that did The
day challenged us to criticise our own
thinking and to engage deeply in
substantive communication with one
another
Much to our delight little to no
prompting or explanations were given as
we first encountered the various
problems but rather we were encouraged
to explore and play Needless to say it
was a challenge for all of us (both adult
and student) As more conjectures were
made throughout the room and ideas and
understandings began flowing we
collectively were able to (eventually)
figure out both what the question was
asking and how we just might solve it
The day was a very good experience as it
showed us an entirely different way of
approaching maths and taught us to think
of ideas ourselves
There were four questions we spent the
day trying to solve three of which are
included here Have a go and see if you
have what it takes to lsquoDo Maths like a
Mathematicianrsquo

WHAT IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (the national data collection) is an annual collection that counts the number of school students with disability and the level of reasonable educational adjustment they are provided with The national data collection counts students who have been identified by a school team as receiving an adjustment to address a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (the DDA)
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR MY CHILD This information will help teachers the principal and families to better support students with disability to take part in school on the same basis as students without disability The national data collection is an opportunity for our school to review our learning and support systems to continually improve education outcomes for our students with disability
WHY IS THIS DATA BEING COLLECTED The information provided through the national data collection will enable all Australian governments to improve target support and resources to benefit students with disability
WHAT ARE SCHOOLS REQUIRED TO DO FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY All students are entitled to a quality learning experience at school Schools are required to make reasonable adjustments where needed to assist students with disability to access and participate in education free from discrimination and on the same basis as other students These responsibilities are outlined in the DDA and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards) The Standards require educators students parents and others (eg allied health professionals) to work together so that students with disability can participate in education The Standards can be accessed via the ComLaw website at wwwcomlawgovau
WHAT IS A REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT A reasonable adjustment is a measure or action taken to help a student with disability access and participate in education on the same basis as students without disability Reasonable adjustments reflect the assessed individual needs of the student and are provided in consultation with the student andor their parents and carers Reasonable adjustments can be made across the whole school setting (eg ramps into school buildings) in the classroom (such as adapting class lessons) and at an individual student level (eg extra tuition for a student with learning difficulties)
WHAT INFORMATION WILL BE COLLECTED Every year your childrsquos school will collect the following information for each student with a disability
the studentrsquos level of education (ie primary or secondary)
the studentrsquos level of adjustment
the studentrsquos broad type of disability
The information collected by schools will be provided to all governments to inform policy and programme improvement for students with disability
WHO WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION For the purposes of the national data collection students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or auditory processing disorder as well as chronic health conditions like epilepsy diabetes or asthma that require active monitoring by the school may be included
WHO WILL COLLECT INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION Teachers and school staff will count the number of students with disability in their school and the level of reasonable adjustment they are provided based on
consultation with parents and carers in the course of determining and providing reasonable adjustments
the school teamrsquos observations and professional judgments
any medical or other professional diagnosis
other relevant information
School principals are responsible for ensuring the information identified about each student is accurate
HOW WILL MY CHILDrsquoS PRIVACY BE PROTECTED Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all students and their families is essential Personal details such as student names or other identifying information will not be provided to local or federal education authorities Further information about privacy is available from wwweducationgovaunotices
IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION COMPULSORY All education ministers agreed to full implementation of the national data collection from 2015 This means that all schools must now collect and submit information annually on the number of students with disability in their care and the level of adjustment provided to them Information about the arrangements that may apply to your school in relation to this data collection is available from your childrsquos school principal and the relevant education authority

National Consistent Collection of Data Information for parents and carers
WHAT IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (the national data collection) is an annual collection that counts the number of school students with disability and the level of reasonable educational adjustment they are provided with The national data collection counts students who have been identified by a school team as receiving an adjustment to address a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (the DDA)
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR MY CHILD This information will help teachers the principal and families to better support students with disability to take part in school on the same basis as students without disability The national data collection is an opportunity for our school to review our learning and support systems to continually improve education outcomes for our students with disability
WHY IS THIS DATA BEING COLLECTED The information provided through the national data collection will enable all Australian governments to improve target support and resources to benefit students with disability
WHAT ARE SCHOOLS REQUIRED TO DO FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY All students are entitled to a quality learning experience at school Schools are required to make reasonable adjustments where needed to assist students with disability to access and participate in education free from discrimination and on the same basis as other students These responsibilities are outlined in the DDA and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards) The Standards require educators students parents and others (eg allied health professionals) to work together so that students with disability can participate in education The Standards can be accessed via the ComLaw website at wwwcomlawgovau
WHAT IS A REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT A reasonable adjustment is a measure or action taken to help a student with disability access and participate in education on the same basis as students without disability Reasonable adjustments reflect the assessed individual needs of the student and are provided in consultation with the student andor their parents and carers Reasonable adjustments can be made across the whole school setting (eg ramps into school buildings) in the classroom (such as adapting class lessons) and at an individual student level (eg extra tuition for a student with learning difficulties)
WHAT INFORMATION WILL BE COLLECTED Every year your childrsquos school will collect the following information for each student with a disability
the studentrsquos level of education (ie primary or secondary)
the studentrsquos level of adjustment
the studentrsquos broad type of disability
The information collected by schools will be provided to all governments to inform policy and programme improvement for students with disability
WHO WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION For the purposes of the national data collection students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or auditory processing disorder as well as chronic health conditions like epilepsy diabetes or asthma that require active monitoring by the school may be included
WHO WILL COLLECT INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION Teachers and school staff will count the number of students with disability in their school and the level of reasonable adjustment they are provided based on
consultation with parents and carers in the course of determining and providing reasonable adjustments
the school teamrsquos observations and professional judgments
any medical or other professional diagnosis
other relevant information
School principals are responsible for ensuring the information identified about each student is accurate
HOW WILL MY CHILDrsquoS PRIVACY BE PROTECTED Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all students and their families is essential Personal details such as student names or other identifying information will not be provided to local or federal education authorities Further information about privacy is available from wwweducationgovaunotices
IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION COMPULSORY All education ministers agreed to full implementation of the national data collection from 2015 This means that all schools must now collect and submit information annually on the number of students with disability in their care and the level of adjustment provided to them Information about the arrangements that may apply to your school in relation to this data collection is available from your childrsquos school principal and the relevant education authority
FURTHER INFORMATION Contact your childrsquos school if you have further questions about the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability You can also visit wwweducationgovaunationally-consistent-collection-data-school-students-disability An e-learning resource about the Disability Standards for Education 2005 is freely available for the use of individuals families and communities at httpresourcedsetheeducationinstituteeduau
